This being the case, what does it mean, from a theological point of view, when an embryo or fetus partakes of Communion via the mother? From a Christian perspective, would this mark the beginning of spiritual life in some sense (if you're not already of the opinion that it begins at conception)? If so, how would this tie into the question of abo*rtion, and the question of eternal life for a baby that is lost through miscarriage?
